Let me guess... You have an Nvidia card.

Just buy a Fairphone from Murena with /e/OS preinstalled. You don't have to do anything yourself. It mainly works like a phone without any issues, all the features I need work on it and I didn't have to install it manually and supported the devs

No but average people understand the concept of meta reading and accessing your private message. That would be a scandal and righly so

No one is forcing you to use it. Having a european AI like Lumo that encrypts transcripts is great in comparison to shady big tech companies. Yes I know the full context is sent each time the AI wants to generate something. But still, I'm happy they offer it.

 

I know Wero is still in its infancy and the digital Euro is still a few years away, even if you believe there'll be no delays. But depending on where you live you can already do a lot for EU financial independence.

  • Use cash (very easy but not ideal in many situations/online)
  • Use a national payment providers:
    • Germany 🇩🇪: Girocard
    • Netherlands 🇳🇱: iDEAL
    • France 🇫🇷: Cartes Bancaires
    • Poland 🇵🇱: BLIK
    • Italy 🇮🇹:Bancomat/PagoBancomat
    • Many other options, check for your country
  • Use SEPA direct debit mandate or wire money directly if you can
  • Sign up to a european crypto exchange and use it for direct purchases. although I get if you don't like crypto but this is just for direct purchases

Otherwise American Payment providers usually get at least 1% and if you use card payment a lot over time that can really add up. This also mostly makes sense when buying from a european company. For US companies it really doesn't matter much. I've been trying to replace Amazon with Otto and I use SEPA direct debit mandate to avoid fees.

Ecosia does still rely on Bing, and will for a while. But they are building their own search index and started rolling it out for more and more search queries and languages last year.

Ah I just checked the community like 60% of all news posts come from like 2 users. I get it now tho. I thought it was related to this post and was confused

No they're building their own open european search index currently with Qwant

Thats honestly why I use Qwant. They're from europe (France) and even tho they still rely on Bing they are working with Ecosia to build their own independent european search index

It would be such a power move and its definitely being considered but I don't see Europe actually going through with this unless Trump like actually invades Greenland or escalates further on different levels. First the agreement from the eu parliament is void, then counter tariffs, then comes the "trade bazooka" how they call it in Brussels and only in the very end would bonds be touched.

 

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.
